Public Utilities Commissions: The Growing Fight for Clean Infrastructure

As organizing on a federal level continues to become more contentious, we’re seeing an increase in organizations focusing on state- and local-level campaigns. Public Utilities Commissions (PUCs) are an area of growing interest and success in the climate justice movement! These commissions provide state oversight and regulation of utilities like electricity, gas, water, and transit. PUCs are a direct line to those entrusted to protect the affordability, health, and safety of utilities. Join us for a conversation on PUCs and how local organizations are fighting for safe, clean, and affordable utilities and infrastructure.

• Provide an overview of the make-up, function, and power of Public Utility Commissions in state government.
• Analyze and Discuss successful campaigns to push Public Utilities Commissions to further climate justice and climate resilience efforts.
